I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby (1940)

MELODEARS and MUSICAL MOBSTERS... in the fun frolic of the season!

Directed by Albert S. Rogell1h 1mComedy,Music

In I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby, Broderick Crawford plays a sentimental gangster who abducts songwriter Johnny Downs and forces him to write a love ballad. It is Crawford's hope that the song will reach out and touch his long-lost childhood sweetheart. I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby was based on James Edward Grant's short story Trouble in B Flat; echoes of the basic premise later resurfaced in the 1957 "A" picture The Girl Can't Help It.
